People and Office Administrator (part-time)

Who we are

We are The Collective, the dairy shaker-uppers and just-go-with-your-gut-ers! We are taste revolutionaries, on a mission to create ridiculously tasty, game changing yoghurts, because let’s face it, life’s too short for big-house factory-bland.

A brand started 13 years ago by two chefs in New Zealand who wanted to change the landscape of yoghurt forever; we are now one of the fastest growing Yoghurt brands in the UK, and are well on our way to changing how our world tastes, one ‘tub’ at a time *grin*.

Constantly fighting the good food fight is at the heart of everything we do, whether it be striving to be better for people – through our epic flavours and improving gut health, or towards being better for the planet – through our innovative packaging and growing portfolio of carbon neutral yogs. It’s safe to say that finding better ways is in our DNA.

So, if you’re passionate about food, striving for better and being part of a fast-paced and exciting challenger brand where you can make a genuine difference… then The Collective could be the place for you!
